HOT TOPICS | Trump's War With Harvard - May 2nd, 2025
Summary
This morning, we’re diving into Trump’s increasingly authoritarian agenda because the vibes aren’t just bad, they’re fascist-adjacent.
First up: Harvard. Trump’s declared war on the Ivy League, now threatening to revoke the university’s tax-exempt status because they didn’t align with his political narrative. Free speech? Academic freedom? Apparently not when it makes Dear Leader uncomfortable.
Then there’s the Alien Enemies Act, a centuries-old law Trump is now using to deport people en masse. A federal judge just ruled that his use of the law exceeds its legal scope. So the question is: Will they listen to the courts? Or are we just tossing the Constitution out the window for good?
Don breaks down the legal overreach, the political revenge, and how much longer this democracy can function with this level of power abuse.
Spoiler: It’s not looking great.
